FORMING MAINTENANCE, CLEANING OR LUBRICATION WORK ON THE SPINDLE SANDER.
cleaning / lUbricating
1. Blow out dust accumulation and wood chips inside the motor, housing, and dust chute frequently.
2. A coat of automotive wax applied to the table will help keep the surface clean, it will also ensure that moisture from the wood does not remain
on bare metal surfaces which can cause rust.
3. Periodic lubrication of handles and threaded parts will make these parts easier to operate.
4. Clean sanding spindles and drums and tapered socket before use, this will protect sanding spindles and drums from nicks.
5. We recommend that a small amount of grease be applied to the table tilting screw once a month.
6. No lubrication is required for the bearings, they are permanently lubricated.
